IND vs SA, 2nd ODI: In a thrilling contest that unfolded in Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, the men in blue fell short by 9 runs. The series opener was reduced to 40 overs per side match, but team India faltered in the final stages of the match. The Indian team now moves to Ranchi to take on the Proteas team in the second match of the series. With the One Day International (ODI) series on line, the Indian team will look to outplay Bavuma and his men.
The young Indian team which is devoid of superstars such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya is being led by Delhi-based Shikhar Dhawan who has made his intentions pretty clear to play the 50 over World Cup that will be hosted by India. On the other hand, the South African team will have their eyes set on a series victory as this will give them great momentum before they head into the all-important World Cup.
